Monetary policy is expected to be further loosened in Q4 [12] Treasury Bond Futures - Monetary policy loosening is in the implementation stage, and bonds still have upward momentum. The capital market is balanced and loose, and the Fed cut interest rates by 25BP [13][14] Black Metals Steel and Iron Ore - In the short term, the black metal market may adjust slightly and maintain an oscillating trend. Policy has a significant impact on market sentiment. Demand for building materials is weak, while demand for coils is fair. Supply remains high, and steel mill profits are low. The valuation of steel is expected to remain between valley - and peak - electricity costs, and the rebound space of steel prices is limited [15] Coking Coal and Coke - The prices of coking coal and coke may continue to oscillate strongly in the short term. Supply is gradually recovering, but there are still expectations of production checks and environmental protection restrictions.

Polysilicon will also oscillate narrowly, with the lower limit supported by spot prices and the upper limit depending on capacity merger policies [23][24] Agricultural Products Cotton - It is recommended to be cautious when operating on the rebound of cotton prices. Supply pressure is increasing, and demand is weak. Although Zhengzhou cotton is supported by cost and basis repair, the overall supply pressure still restricts the rebound space [27] Sugar - It is recommended to either conduct short - rolling operations or wait and see. The global sugar supply is expected to be in surplus, and domestic supply pressure is increasing. However, cost support and import restrictions may limit the decline [28][29] Eggs - It is recommended to wait and see or try short - selling on rallies. The egg industry is in the process of capacity reduction, and the futures market is strong. However, the supply - demand pattern is still loose, and the increase in spot prices may be limited [30] Apples - Apples are expected to oscillate strongly. The prices in the western producing areas are firm, and the national inventory is lower than the same period last year. Future attention should be paid to price changes, inventory progress, and buyer sentiment [33] Corn - It is recommended to be cautious when shorting near - month contracts and consider going long on far - month contracts. Corn prices are oscillating. The support from state - owned grain depots and rigid demand may drive a short - term rebound, but new grain supply pressure and potential wheat substitution may limit the upward movement [34] Red Dates - It is recommended to short on rallies or wait and see. The market price of red dates is stable, and there is an expectation of a lower opening price [35] Live Pigs - It is recommended to short near - month contracts on rallies. The spot price is weakening, and the supply is abundant. The market lacks the conditions for a significant price rebound [35][36] Energy and Chemicals Crude Oil - The price of crude oil is likely to fall as the supply - demand contradiction is becoming more prominent. EIA inventory decreased unexpectedly, but OPEC+ may increase production, and demand may be suppressed [38] Fuel Oil - The price of fuel oil will follow the trend of oil prices. Supply is abundant, and demand is weak. Attention should be paid to the impact of sanctions on Russian supply [39] Plastics - Polyolefins may have an emotional rebound in the short term due to improved market sentiment, but the supply pressure is large, and it is recommended to hedge after the rebound [39] Rubber - Rubber will oscillate as the macro - level benefits have been realized, and there is no obvious fundamental logic. Short - term double - selling strategies can be considered [40] Methanol - It is recommended to adopt an oscillating strategy and consider going long in small amounts after a rebound driver appears. The market is highly volatile due to factors such as Iranian imports and gas restrictions, and inventory is high [41][42] Caustic Soda - It is recommended to take a bearish - oscillating view. The supply of caustic soda exceeds demand, but coal prices may provide some support. The risk of short - selling lies in the cost support after the weakening of liquid chlorine prices [43] Asphalt - Asphalt is expected to oscillate weakly. Oil prices are affected by geopolitical and macro factors, and asphalt demand is entering the end - stage, with production set to increase again [44] Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - LPG will follow the trend of crude oil in the short term. Supply is abundant, and demand may weaken. There is a possibility that LPG may underperform crude oil in the coming week [47]
